Who is judging and hosting Masterchef: The Professionals?

Former greengrocer and pudding-loving TV icon Gregg Wallace is once again presenting the Bafta-winning series.

Alongside him will be the somewhat more authoritative cooking minds of chefs-turned-restaurateurs Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti.

Double Michelin-starred chef Marcus has acquired a whole new wave of fans since joining the show in 2014 beyond those earned with his genius in the kitchen. He has three swanky London restaurants: Marcus at The Berkeley, The Gilbert Scott at the St Pancras Hotel and Tredwells.

Monica has crafted a glittering culinary career and a burgeoning sideline as a TV presenter, appearing alongside Giles Coren in Amazing Hotels on the BBC earlier this year.
